larry johnson explores the new persian leaders' background; 

 

I say adversary instead of enemy. Mr. Khamenei and the Iranian people are not the enemies of the US. They did not attack us on February 28, we attacked them… And we did so while the Iranians were engaged in good faith negotiations, or so they thought. Iran’s new Ayatollah shares something in common with President John F. Kennedy and President George H. W. Bush… He’s a combat veteran.

Since 1960, the United States has only had two presidents who actually fought in a war… In the case of Kennedy and Bush that was World War II. I concede that Kennedy played a key role in fanning the flames of the Vietnam war but, before he was murdered, he reportedly was going to put an end to the US role. George H.W. Bush oversaw the first invasion of Iraq in 1991, but he at least made sure the US confined itself to ejecting Iraq from Kuwait. The rest of the lot, the ones who embroiled the US in subsequent needless wars, had zero combat experience. Donald “Bone Spurs” Trump avoided serving in Vietnam. He was too wealthy and entitled to be bothered with enlisting in the Army or the Marine Corps… Just another Fortunate Son:.........more...........
